Chinese medicine has always had the saying that "medicine is like using soldiers, and the doctor is destined to be a general". We are familiar with the use of soldiers to win wars and strategies, and the use of medicine in Chinese medicine to treat diseases and drugs, so what kind of connection is there between the two? Today's TCM experts will explain it to you.
Medication is like using soldiers
In the "Theory of the Origin of Medicine" written by Xu Dachun, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, there is a special section mentioning "the theory of using medicine as a soldier", which means that disease is like an enemy, medicine is like a soldier, and treating diseases is like fighting a war. When diagnosing a disease, TCM first solves the key to the disease, and other symptoms will be solved one after another.
Hide the sky and cross the sea
I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of the idiom "concealing the sky and crossing the sea", the core of "concealing the sky and crossing the sea" in Chinese medicine is to create some illusions to make the body lose its vigilance and inadvertently achieve the purpose of treating diseases.
A common way of "hiding the sky and crossing the sea" in traditional Chinese medicine is that when children take traditional Chinese medicine, they will resist taking medicine because of the bitter taste, and clinically they often use stevia to blend the taste of traditional Chinese medicine. Stevia has a sweet and flat taste, and adding stevia to Chinese medicine can improve the taste of Chinese medicine without changing the medicinal properties.
Eating traditional Chinese medicine can not accept the bitter taste, you can also add a little honey to mix and take, but because the sugar, brown sugar and caramel are relatively strong, it will change the medicinal properties and medicinal effects of the original formula, so it is not recommended to add, so "hiding the sky and crossing the sea" also has to be used correctly to work.
